$300 for two days is bloody good value

Here's the spread from our day - good variety and all solid efforts

Brief was something light, easy to clean and light.
Modified Kephart, skeletonised handle, 12c27n, weights nothing and versatile.

Did you weigh this? Looks sweet. Been thinking of doing something similar for myself. Feel good in hand?

Ho Nick, no I didn't weigh it but it was like a feather.
It was much more comfortable in hand than I thought it would be. I spent a fair amount of time rounding and softening all the edges. It also gives an option of wrapping the handle in paracord.
An interesting build that is a very light and practical field knife.

my weeks work pretty productive for me .

Bummer! Never leave carbon steel in its sheath long term, the leather holds moisture.

That should clean up easy enough though.
